you sure you got the right one? i think the one for the manual 250's are different than the auto's in the 250s and 350s. i know they look different but not sure if the thread pitch the same or not.

Perhaps the **** is a defective one and the threads became stripped or something

So CaliDogg54, you scared me with your post. I ordered a F-Sport shift **** that came in today and I was worried it wouldn't fit. But, the OEM shift **** spun off and the F-Sport spun on......... And I swear the thing looks so cool, it must have added 15 HP to my car. LOL
